It’s Official! I am a Certified Open Floor Teacher!
I am finding limited words to express how deeply grateful and changed I am by Open Floor and those involved in the process of me becoming an Open Floor Teacher. It’s been a collective and global effort to cross this threshold. I am honored to join the lineage of those who have come before. I am blessed and proud to be a part of Open Floor International.

This Thanksgiving Season, for those you appreciate, may you show them with acts of kindness and may you be able to express your gratitude to whatever holds you and your beliefs beyond this plane. Wishing you all health and healing this Thanksgiving Season.
Happy Thanksgiving and the Gift of Presence!
The greatest gift we can give someone is our presence. Our full attention. To be present. To participate totally in conversation. To listen empathetically. To be curious. To be a silent witness. To hold space for the emotions and thoughts of another. To connect with spirit.
From Grief to Gratitude
Greenspan says, “The gift that grief offers us is the capacity to see deeply into the way things are. Life is limited. We are here for a short time. Grief asks us to know this, not only in a disembodied, cerebral way, but in the marrow of our bones.” She believes that looking into the face of death offers us the gift of gratitude.
